(A)Quantity A is greater.
(B)Quantity B is greater.
(C)The two quantities are equal.
(D)The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

答案B

解析 By the rules of probability, you can conclude that the probability that event H will not occur is 1 - s. Also, the fact that G and H are independent events implies that G and "not H" are independent events. Therefore the probability that G will occur and H will not occur is r(1-s). Similarly, the probability that H will occur and G will not occur is s(l - r). So Quantity A, the probability that either G will occur or H will occur, but not both, is r(1-s)+ s(1-r)= r + s- 2rs, which is less than Quantity B, r + s-rs. Thus the correct answer is Choice B.
This explanation uses the following strategy.
